Monitoring of biodiversity of wetlands of Southern Priaralie - 2023
Loss of biodiversity threatens our food supply, recreation and tourism industries, as well as our sources of timber, medicines and energy. In addition, the loss of biodiversity disrupts essential ecological functions, which may render the conditions of life on the planet unsuitable for humans. Therefore, preserving the diversity of living organisms on Earth is a prerequisite for human survival and sustainable development of civilization.
Ecological monitoring of biodiversity in 2023 was conducted on lakes Muynak Bay, Sarbas (Rybachie), Mezhdurechie, Dzhiltyrbas, Karateren, Sarykamysh (Southern Ustyurt).
Ecological monitoring of biodiversity is conducted by the Agency of IFAS jointly with the Karakalpak Research Institute of Natural Sciences, with financial support from the OSCE.
